Major Management Challenges and Program Risks
U.S. Agency for International Development Gao ID: GAO-01-256 January 1, 2001This report, part of GAO's performance and accountability series, discusses the major management challenges and program risks facing the Agency for International Development (AID). GAO identified weaknesses in AID's management of its human capital. AID has, however, made efforts to improve this area, including hiring additional foreign service employees, establishing a recruitment program, and improving employee training. AID needs to sustain its focus on these areas if it is to succeed in reforming its personnel system. GAO also found weaknesses in financial management, information technology management, and data collection.
